"The new barcode generator SDK enables developers to add 1D/2D barcodes to images captured from scanners or webcams. ImageCapture Suite 9.3 also provides a built-in barcode reader and an optical character recognition (OCR) engine," said Amy Gu, VP of Dynamsoft.

Gu also points out that her firm's software ensures compatibility with all mainstream browsers for use on Windows or Mac. Browsers supported include 32-bit and 64-bit Internet Explorer (IE); Firefox; Chrome; Safari; and Opera.

"The SDK enables developers to create image acquisition web applications using just a few lines of code.

The SDK has built-in support for image rotate, crop, and zoom in/out," said the company.
